Learn how to beat King Dan Brody, King Samejima, and King Ugajin in LAD Gaiden. Includes strategies for their unique attacks and gadgets.

After your initial battle with King Dan Brody, you can find him in the Coliseum Reception area to initiate a Hell Team Rumble match. While max level/bond isn't strictly necessary, it helps significantly. You can acquire a ¥1.8 million item from a shop in the Fighters' Lounge or replay the fourth Platinum Hell Team Rumble match to prepare. Purchasing champagne at the bar can boost everyone's Bond simultaneously if you have the funds.
